SMRT Hong Gan liao...

[Sunlight]

We are not fit to tell her to go or not.

 

She will go only if

1) PM wants

2) Her Board wants because shareholders want because say >2 million tell her we will bring her company down because we will boycott SMRT to hurt their profits.

 

Last point is a joke. You dont take SMRT, you drive car? walk? take NEL?

 

She laugh all the way to the bank thinking of it.

 

In her S300.

she drive ferrari

Huh fit or not ? How much economic damage is she intending to cause? What is the her pay compared to how much losses we as a country is going to pay for this kind of slow actions?

[Achtung7]

her pay should be donated to charity until the mrt is running smoothly and commuters are confident..

[Littleknown]

she drive ferrari

 

corrected. thanks.

Agreed , no pay should be given until she sorts out this mess, since she say she is not quitting. Seriously no sincerity from her to stay in her job and drag her ass and continue taking her pay. By the way , no backdate and bonus should be allowed to given , SMRT should pay for the economic damages to the people paying them for their services. Since we cannot say no to increments in our trip fees only to see 10% growth in dividends in a company providing public transport.

 

Tell me where the increase in base cost go to cited the reason behind a hike of trip fares ??? Higher energy prices? If rightfully so , SMRT should be barely breaking even and not making 18% returns so that she can pay her own bonus and inflated pay driving a ferrari while the most of the population gets stuck.

 

Dividend paid last year 2010 was at 8.5 cents as compare to 7+ the year before.

Could have been quotes:

 

1. MRTs bound to breakdown sometimes, it is up to the commuters to accept this or not;

 

There was a Today quote from a US commuter who said breakdowns happen in NY subway too. he probably thought our transport leaders are paid as much as the ones in NY.

Do you see Japan with massive breakdowns?

[CH_CO]

At SMRT, we believe it is the

fundamentals that count

above all else. That is why,

no matter how far we’ve come,

we remain guided by our

commitment and core values,

and always return to basics.

 

Good foundation is what

moves us forward and drives us

to offer not just safe, reliable

and affordable transport services

every single day, but the best

travel experience possible for

our customers.

 

We keep raising the bar,

because they expect no less

from us, nor we of ourselves.

Personally i only see the trip fare increasing nia , guess they expect no less than whatever we are paying on daily basis , since raising their bar is expected

NY subway major breakdown is due to 911 and Hurricane Irene. It is also 100 years old. Ask me 75 years later then we talk.

how long u think she will need? Not that i am questioning her abilities , there is a big difference between problem solving and wayang kulit , no offense but i seriously doubt she fits the job given to her. If she say the problem need 3 years we give her 3 years when others can probably get it solve in 1? Seriously problems like that , she should give us the confident look to show us that she can HANDLE the problem , not show us the SHACK look showing that she can't. Seriously , she never even serve NS , show us the shack cannot think face how to be confident in her? If your officer give you this kind of face , would you shake your head?

Given last time , if the train stopped , the CEO would be the first one to inspect what is wrong , as with the 1st gen politicians. Now the 3rd gen ? Sit in office? Hide at home? Seriously , the minister even without sleep should allocate all the resources they can find and sort this out immediately , even if it means employing the civil defense dept to help since if nothing happen they are just siting there.

 

What happen to the fluid co-operation between garmen and private sector? One have s--t the others stand at side look? You guys telling me that those "practice" crisis management on terrorist attacks cannot be used here? HARLO ???? Stop dreaming!!! Same what got problem , use the resources lah , 3 days in the row on a NATIONAL transport where everyone needs it , you should treat this as important as a terrorist attack , it affect national interest as the economic damage is greater than what you think, to MS Saw if you need help , open your mouth and ASK for help!

Ppls please she just bought her ferrari, need 3 yrs to pay off the loan

 

[Curahee]

From her callous remarks over last few years, she has no love for the SMRT systems nor Singapore. She only knew how to cut cost and earn money and because of population growth, it seems she is good at it.

 

And this is a monopoly. Not happy dont take her trains or buses? We cant.

 

Privatise public transport into a nice monopoly. Too bad lah.

 

I feel her boss, TH is the one to be blame. TH dun care abt service, they juz want to see money on the table to cover their huge portfolio loss, she will not bite the hand that feed her, will be obedient and rack in millions every yr at the expense of the commuters in order to satisfy TH greed for money.

ya la. typical of SG style reporting. The issues raised by WP only got a tiny column that if i didn't look hard enuf, i would have missed it. the NY quote some more bold at the top. anyway, whats new about our press

[CH_CO]

can we ask for a re-election??

[CKP]

SMRT use cable ties to further secure dislodged "claws" to the 3rd rail assembly -

 

18 Dec 2011

 

 

 

Hooray

Chey, still say will leave if the need arises

hmm...guess all the more can't leave already. but seriously she bot a ferrari? which model? at least she got gd taste that although earn less than ministers, still buy nice car.

[CKP]

Unless the "claws" dislodged problem was only caused very recently, I wonder why the schedule check did not discover the problem. The person(s) who did the check no expertise to discover, or plain lazy or what??

 

 

There was CNA clip "Deeper look into MRT breakdowns".

 

A reasonable analysis is there provided by Dr PARK.
